This has been a point I have made on numerous occassions.
Let’s say a judge orders that a sex offender must place signs on his property alerting neighbors to his presence. This has happened before.
Say an immoral Real Estate broker (Lord knows there are plenty of those) decides to team up with the Sex Offender, and rents him property in a nice neighborhood. If I were doing this, the rent would be ‘free’ as I would propose a partnership. So, bright shiny neon signs go up all along the property saying “Convicted Child Molester living at this residence”.
What does property value do in the surrounding ‘x’ blocks do? You can’t sell your home for any price. Basically, innocent people who have to sell their homes will be forced to either take a fraction of the home’s value, or go bankrupt.
Meanwhile, immoral Real Estate Broker buys up the homes in the neighborhood at highly reduced prices. He then moves his Sex Offender partner to a nicer, more affluent neighborhood and while home prices plummet there, they rebound where the pervert used to live.
Mr. Immoral Real Estate Broker sells the homes he purchased in the old neighborhood, makes a financial killing and prepares to buy houses in the more affluent neighborhood.
There is nothing to prevent this sort of thing happening, heck it might be happening as I type this post. It’s perfectly legal, highly lucrative and there is nothing you can do to stop it from happening to you.
Wow, that’s a great idea... maybe ill do it!
Interesting. Hm. Why is a judge's order even needed? They could do this anywhere. (I guess the order would provide "cover"...)
I can think of one solution, but I sure ain't gonna verbalize it. No, it does not involve the perps...
